  1. Ah, Ghostbusters... on Original Cast On Board For Ghostbusters 3 · · Score: 4, Funny

    In troubled times, I often like to say to myself the immortal words of Mr. Ray Parker, Jr. who said, and I quote, "bustin' makes me feel good."

  2. Hmm... on Sedate Your Kids While They Play · · Score: 3, Informative

    I smell Joey Skaggs at work.

  3. Re:Prediction on Right-to-Repair Law To Get DRM Out of Your Car · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is NADAR a device which tells you proximity of Ralph Nader?

  4. Hey... on Hard Drive With Clinton-Era Data Missing From Nat'l Archives · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should check the London Underground train system. I hear a lot of missing secret government data ends up there.

  5. Sure, he wants to protect kids from violent games, on Calif. Petitions Supreme Court On Violent Video Game Bill · · Score: 1

    but who will protect those kids from endless frivolous lawsuits?

  6. Re:When does it stop? on Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn" · · Score: 1

    We must do something to stop the heartbreak of accidental crossbow death...

  7. Re:Millimeter waves? on Freshman Representative Opposes "TSA Porn" · · Score: 1

    And even if it could, that sounds like an incredibly inefficient way to torture people since you have to rely on them to walk through the scanner willingly.

  8. Re:Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I don't know about you, but I'm not a tree. Trees do, humans don't. For humans, it's a pollutant.

  9. Re:Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 0

    If you don't think CO2 is a pollutant, try breathing it for a while.

  10. Re:Wish in one hand, crap in the other... on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1

    According to that one website, the most recent model of Mazda 121 was a Ford Fiesta clone. Fiestas are legal in the U.S. There definitely are small cars that are not legal in the U.S., but it's not the size, it's the lack of safety features like side-impact airbags.

  11. Re:Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Too much money? Smart FourTwo MSRP: $11,990 - $16,990 That's hardly a luxury car price.

  12. Re:Wish in one hand, crap in the other... on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1

    I drive a small car... I hear the whole 'squished like a pancake' thing all the time, but despite hearing it and seeing lots of even major car accidents on the Los Angeles freeways, I see a lot of people take hits in small cars and not only survive, but their cars are still working well enough to drive them away from the scene. American car safety standards are among the most rigorous in the world. Even small cars are pretty safe here.

  13. Re:Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If people don't want fuel-efficient cars, why do I see so many Minis and Smart FourTwos on the road?

  14. Great... on Scribd Becomes a DRM-Optional E-Bookstore · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now everyone has a vanity press and considering Sturgeon's Law already applies to commercially-published books, I think it will have to be revised four percentage points. Thanks, internet.

  15. Wait a second... on Do We Want ISPs Penalizing Music Fans? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Billy Bragg has fans?



    (I keed! I keed!)

  16. One would think on A System For Handling 'Impostor' Complaints · · Score: 1

    that it wouldn't be difficult to ask the one making the complaint to provide evidence that they are who they say they are... you know, like a credit card company does if your card gets stolen.

  17. Sure, they can patent a magic wand, on Microsoft Trying To Patent a 'Magic Wand' · · Score: 4, Funny

    but they still can't use it to make Vista disappear.

  18. Re:Reparations on Were Neanderthals Devoured By Humans? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was with you on the first part... Clearly, the only decent thing to do is to resurrect the Neanderthal species as soon as we can reconstruct their DNA, then find out what they taste like.

  19. TRIfecta? on Finding a Personal Coding Trifecta · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why does his trifecta have five points?

  20. "Live Free or Die" on Maddog's New Hampshire "Unix" Plate Turns 20 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't believe the latter is optional.

  21. Re:Hmm... Username is "IndianaKim" on Hosting a Highly Inflammatory Document? · · Score: 1

    No! That's what they WANT you to think!

  22. Too bad the very same erotic services ads on Craigslist Kills Erotic Services Ads, Will Launch Adult Section · · Score: 2, Insightful

    are in every single free weekly paper in the entire country.

  23. I don't understand it. on Breast Cancer Gene Lawsuit Argues Patents Invalid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can someone explain to me why it's legal to patent genes in the first place? I thought patents were supposed to be for new and unique inventions.

  24. Well, you say she died. on Girl Who Named Pluto, At 11, Dies At 90 · · Score: 1

    I say we should call it a dwarf death...

  25. Re:I once had one of those guys pull a gun on me. on Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM · · Score: 1

    I did 1 and 3. I decided I didn't want to deal with the police. I guess that was my mistake since I didn't get a response from Brinks.
